Determining Progression

Use

You can use the progression application to monitor the academic progress of your students. TheStudent Lifecycle Management component offers two different types of progression:

  • Progression in a specific program type

    In this type of progression run, the SAP System checks the progression of students registered in the specified program type and automatically sets the appropriate status indicator after successfully completing the check.

  • Progression in a specific program

    In this type of progression run, the system allows you to manually set the progression status of students for each stage of their program.

Integration

In Student Lifecycle Management , you can book modules for a program or program type. You can define the module booking environment per client in Customizing for Student Lifecycle Management in the section Start of the navigation path Student Lifecycle Management Processes Next navigation step Module Booking Next navigation step Define Module Booking Environment End of the navigation path :

  • Value SC : Module bookings apply to the program.

  • Value PT : Module bookings apply to the program type.

  • If no value is specified or the value differs from the ones above, you can define whether the module booking applies to the program or program type.

When you book a module, the SAP System creates a where-used list:

  • If the module booking applies to a program, the SAP System creates a record for the study object (CS) in the Where-Used List (Study) infotype (IT172 4 ).

  • If the module booking applies to a program type, the SAP System creates a record for the student object (ST) in the Where-Used List (Student) infotype (IT172 5 ). The SAP System reads this data record when it executes program type progression.
